He purchased Mauterndorf Castle in 1894, saving it from ruin at great personal expense and effort. The half-Jewish convert was also Hermann Göring’s godfather. Hermann Göring later inherited the castle. The exhibition reveals Epenstein’s many facets as a patron and a person mixing in Powerful circles.
